Have you pulled the float bowl covers? That sounds similar to 2 problems I've had in past, both fuel- delivery related. One is junk in the fuel system- varnish in my case- that would plug the jets wh

I cheaped out, and got British mirrors from Moss a few years ago, after both of mine fell off on a rather spirited drive. They look OK, come with convex glass if you want, and will mount in the exist

they worked for the Mk1 Jag E- type, so you'd think they'd be at least adequate for a car that weighs only 2/3 as much... Of course, like all sane racers, I'm sure you only race with fresh fluid. It

that first panic stop when you stand on the pedal and NOTHING HAPPENS will dissuade anyone from running true race pads... It's funny- on the 2l, I always had decent brakes- good pedal feel, no real

I thought that the R engine was based on a Brit (Rover?) design, anyway. (Mercedes may be a lot of things- HEAVY!- but seldom crap...) The front suspension is Brit. (Triumph) And it's really... a st

you know, I never really measured the rear drumsI always made the assumption that if you hadn't run out of adjuster, then they were OK. Thanks! Toby

The lazy way to do that is to use U20 flattops... but it usually leaves you with a pretty low compression ratio. When I pulled the engine from the 1600, it had little shiny smiley faces on the tops o
